A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 7, at the First Presbyterian Church in Boyne City.

On Dec. 28, 1956, she married Terry Erno, also of Boyne City, at the First Presbyterian Church in Boyne City. Except for a brief time living downstate, Sis and Terry lived their 47 years of marriage and raising their family in Boyne City.

One of Sis's favorite places to be was in the kitchen, cooking and canning. She was very proficient at it, and provided a large variety of tasty canned foods for family and friends over the years.

She enjoyed bowling, as well, and was on a team with her Mother for many years.

As much as Sis loved her home/kitchen, she was equally desirous of the out-of-doors. Gardening was one outlet of that pursuit, but camping was the other. Mother's Day weekend was the first outing of the year, no matter the weather. She could combine her love for outdoors with her cooking talents and she'd set up an outdoor kitchen to accomplish this.

Sis was the Boyne City chair for cystic fibrosis. She was also president of the Eagles Ladies Auxiliary, where she used her talents in various ways for their many worthy causes.
